What Our Guests are Saying!

Thanks for a great day on the water! Good weather, good fish and good company.... it doesn't get any better. You do a fantastic job. I hope to meet up with you again sometime soon.

Houston, Texas

They are very welcoming and it's obvious they care about their customers. They're pleasant, straight forward small town folks with a small town attitude who don't try to portray themselves as someone they aren't; Salt of the earth if you will.

Houston, Texas

The hospitality was phenomenal! This was my first time visiting, but it felt like home. Kris and Wendy welcomed us from the get go. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. The meals were amazing!!!!

Southern Breeze!

A focal point at The Lodge is 500' of bayou frontage and two covered pavilions; horseshoe pits; and a massive Flagstone fireplace on the bayou burm. Over 3.5 acres of leg stretching manicured grounds with affordable comfort and convenience including onsite games storage and processing.

Location, Location, Location

We are located in "The Heart of Seadrift" and close to everything that's important to our guests and we strike several different launch points depending upon wind direction and velocity. This allows us to keep the wind in your hair without the pounding of running into the big chop. Other focal points include our large covered porches including a 2,500 square foot wraparound outdoor kitchen and outdoor fireplace, bar & big screen TV, comfortable dining and conversation areas; and the massive stone adorned wrap around porches on the bayou quarters building. Porches have a Southern elevation to capture our dominate Southerly winds during the summertime and are sheltered from North winds in the Winter just like we planned it!
